Price: $30/$15

A new play commissioned by the Lied Center for the Performing Arts. Produced by the Messenger Theatre of NYC.


Where are you from? What is the landscape of the human heart? How is the place we call home shaped by our history and our hopes? Playwright Christopher Cartmill explores these questions in an exciting and moving new play written specifically for the Lied Center for Performing Arts and for ALL those who have longed for home. A female Native doctor fulfilling a promise and building a practice, a Spanish conquistador who has lost his way a vast ancient prairie, a young man seeking shelter safety and a new life free of persecution, a young man and woman transformed by violent encounter, an guilty army officer intent on peace and justice, a French trapper embracing freedom, a suburban housewife trying to put the finishing touches on new house and a Native Chief standing for his right to go home: all these and more share the stage and discover that we perhaps have things common that transcend even time.

HOME LAND will be performed in a staged event reading.

de Vigny's CHATTERTON - 7PM

715 Broadway, room 401
New York City NY

Christopher will host an invited reading of Alfred de Vigny's 1834 play CHATTERTON — one of the great all-but-forgotten works of the 19th century theater.

De Vigny's telling of the tale of the poet Thomas Chatterton — art, commerce, passion, despair, sacrifice, opium and the sleepless soul!

A huge success when it premiered, the play created a critical debate similar to that of Corneille's LE CID 200 years earlier. Melodrama reaching to level of Tragedy! How dare de Vigny do such a thing?

"It is the story of a man who has written a letter in the morning and who waits for the answer in the evening; the answer comes, and it kills him!"
